I keep forgetting that Jeff Sandquist is one of the best judges of what's cool in software that I know.

Lately he's been IM'ing me telling me "you've gotta try the new Office Communicator." I kept ignoring him. I was too busy playing with Google Maps. Which are cool!

I figured that Office couldn't possibly do something cool.

But, eventually Jeff just camped in my office and forced me to install it (not quite, but it ain't far from the truth).

Wow.

Already this thing has radically changed how I work.

I think I'll do a video about it. From their Web page it looks really boring, but this thing makes using the telephone system here (and my IM's) a real pleasure. Thanks to the Office team!

Hey, anyone over on that team wanna come on Channel 9?

And sorry Jeff for ignoring your recommendations. I won't anymore.
